A wonderful (almost) closed door romance with a great meet cute and a lot of character growth. Not just the flaws and growth of the MFC and MMC, but their families too! I look forward to reading more by Sonya Lalli.

Well this is just adorable. The main characters are sweet and it like enemies to lovers the light version. It’s closed door romance. No smut at all. But I rooted for them and I’m so happy they found each other. A great light beach read with fantastic Indian representation

A cute story although I wasn't super invested in the romance the rest of the developing relationships were interesting.

This felt like a very stereotypical love story.

Girl thinks Boy is annoying. Boy thinks Girl is cute. Boy does something special for Girl. Girl starts falling for Boy. They fall for each other. The end.

Not that that isn’t a good story, it just never did anything I hadn’t already suspected. I wish I could have been surprised at some point.

Fun book!  I enjoyed the story all the way through. It was great to see Jasmine’s growth through the book and reconnecting with her family. Narrator was so good!
